We propose a human-robot interaction(HRI) platform based on motion capture and mapping. Platform consists of capture, processing/mapping, and action parts. A motion capture sensor, computer, and avatar and/or physical robots are selected as capture, processing/mapping, and action part(s), respectively. Case studies-an interactive presentation and LEGO robot car are presented to show the design and implementation process of Kinect based HRI platform.

Recently, motion capture has become one of the most promising technologies in animation. Realistic motion data can be captured by recording the movement of a real actor with an optical or magnetic motion capture system. This paper deals with motion editing by a geometric mean filter. Since the captured motion has some noises that cause a jerky motion, it needs a smoothing process to make it natural. A geometric mean filter is proposed to produce natural motions without jerky motions. Experimental results show that the geometric mean filter can effectively remove noises that cause a jerky motion and it can guarantee the most natural motions among various spatial filters. This method could be applied to the various fields such as real time animation, virtual reality applications, 3D applications, and etc.

본 논문에서는 실제 카메라 영상으로 획득하기 어려운 화재, 살인 등의 뉴스 사건을 시청자들에게 효과적으로 전달하기 위해서 다수의 가상캐릭터가 등장하는 애니메이션을 신속, 편리하게 제작할 수 있는 사건 재연 시스템의 개발 기법을 소개한다. 본 시스템은 미리 구축된 동작 및 모델 라이브러리를 이용하여 다수의 가상캐릭터 움직임을 제어함으로써 고가의 동작 포착 장비와 연기자가 없어도 신속한 가상캐릭터 애니메이션 제작이 가능하다. 사건 재연 시스템의 가상 캐릭터 동작 제어는 동작 지정, 동작 생성, 동작 편집의 세 단계로 구성된다. 동작 지정 단계에서는 사건 시나리오에 따라 모델 라이브러리부터 가상캐릭터와배경 모델을 선택하고, 동작 라이브러리부터 가상캐릭터의 동작을 선택한다. 동작 생성 단계에서는 지정된 특정 사건을 기술하는 동작에 이동 동작을 연결함으로써 가상캐릭터의 부드러운 동작을 생성한다. 동작편집 단계에서는 가상캐릭터 사이의 상호 작용 또는 가상캐릭터와 가상환경의 상호작용을 보다 정확하게 제어하기 위해서 특정한 시간에서의 가상캐릭터 위치와 자세 등을 조정한다. 본 시스템은 편리한 사용을 위해 대화형과 스크립트 기반의 인터페이스를 적용하였으며, 3차원 그래픽 소프트웨어인 Maya의 플러그인(Plug-in) 소프트웨어 형태로 개발하여 Maya의 고성능 그래픽 기능을 활용하였다.

Main researching issue in affective computing is to give a machine the ability to recognize the emotion of a person and to react it properly. Efforts in that direction have mainly focused on facial and oral cues to get emotions. Postures have been recently considered as well. This paper aims to discriminate emotions posture by identifying and measuring the saliency of posture features that play a role in affective expression. To do so, affective postures from human subjects are first collected using a motion capture system, then emotional features in posture are described with spatial ones. Through standard statistical techniques, we verified that there is a statistically significant correlation between the emotion intended by the acting subjects, and the emotion perceived by the observers. Discriminant Analysis are used to build affective posture predictive models and to measure the saliency of the proposed set of posture features in discriminating between 6 basic emotional states. The evaluation of proposed features and models are performed using a correlation between actor-observer's postures set. Quantitative experimental results show that proposed set of features discriminates well between emotions, and also that built predictive models perform well.

광학식 동작 포착(optical motion capture)시스템에서 신뢰할만한 3차원 좌표의 획득과 마커의 궤적 추적은 매우 중요한 문제이다. 3차원 좌표를 획득하기 이해서는 다중의 카메라로부터 2차원의 데이터 간의 대응관계를 구해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 각 카메라에서의 3차원 마커들 간의 대응관계를 k-partite graph로 모델링하고, 릴렉세이션 알고리즘을 사용하여 고스트가 제거된 신뢰성있는 클릭을 추출한다. 이를 통해 정확하고 안정적인 3차원의 좌표를 생성할 수 있다. 또한 추출된 3차원 마커의 궤적의 추적을 위해 칼만 필터를 사용한 마커의 예측과 데이터 연계 문제의 해결을 위한 전략을 제안하고. 사라진 마커의 궤적을 유지시키기 위해 다이나믹 모델을 사용한 추적 알고리즘을 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose a high speed preamble searcher feasible for RACH(Random Access Channel) preamble structure in WCDMA reverse link receiver. Unlike IS-95, WCDMA system uses AISMA(Acquisition Indication Sense Multiple Access) process. Because of the time limit between RACH preamble transmission and AI(Acquisition Indicators), and the restriction on the number of RACH signatures assigned to RACH preamble, fast acquisition indication is required for efficient operation. The preamble searcher proposed in this paper is based on 2-antenna system and has adopted FHT algorithm that has the radix-2 16 point FFT structure. The acquisition speed using FHT is 64 times faster than the conventional method that correlates each signature. Based on their fast aquisition scheme, we improved the acquisition performance by calculating the correlation up to the 4096 chips of the total preamble length. The performance is analyzed by using Neyman-pearson method. The proposed algorithm has been applied for the implementation of WCDMA reverse link receiver modem successfully.

In this paper, we propose the acquisition method of the Cyclic-Prefix CDMA using Good-Autocorrelation-Sequence (GAS-CP-CDMA) system. The sequences for GAS-CP-CDMA are m-sequence and constant amplitude zero autocorrelation code (CAZAC) with good autocorrelation property. The GAS-CP-CDMA system is proposed for interference cancellation in multi-user and -path environment in co-cell. However, the reliable initial acquisition in multi-path fading channel and multi-user system environment is crucial. In this paper, non-coherent power detector and threshold value are used for discriminating signal acquisition. The sequence used for computer simulation is CAZAC. The simulation results show proper threshold value depends on the number of users. Through the computer simulation, we draw setting up method of the optimum threshold value for the GAS-CP-CDMA system.

This paper proposes algorithms to detect jump motion and automatically take a picture when the jump reaches its top. Based on the algorithms, we build jump-shot system by using accelerometer-equipped smart phones. Since the jump motion may vary depending on one's physical condition, gender, and age, it is critical to figure out common features which are independent from such differences. Also it is obvious that the detection algorithm needs to work in real-time because of the short duration of the jump. We propose two different algorithms considering these requirements and develop the system as a smart phone application. Through a series of experiments, we show that the system is able to successfully detect the jump motion and take a picture when it reaches the top.

This paper proposes a real-time multi-camera video surveillance system with automatic resolution control using motion detection. In ordinary times, it acquires 4 channels of QVGA images, and it merges them into single VGA image and transmit it. When motion is detected, it automatically increases the resolution of motion-occurring channel to VGA and decreases those of 3 other channels to QQVGA, and then these images are overlaid and transmitted. Thus, it can magnifies and watches the motion-occurring channel while maintaining transmission bandwidth and monitoring all other channels. When it is synthesized with 0.18 um technology, the maximum operating frequency is 110 MHz, which can theoretically support 4 HD cameras.
